Account listings sell level 45 characters by class and gear score. NC's Operation Policies sanction account trading, and the seller can try to reclaim the account later. Check the login type and the original email before you pay.

What to check before you pay

  • Login type. The game runs on Steam and on NC's PURPLE launcher, and both share the same servers. Know which one you are buying and whether the Steam account has other games on it.
  • Original email. An account without access to its first email can be reclaimed by whoever holds that email.
  • Server. Kinah is held per server and transfers are limited to the same region and faction. Buy on the server you want to play on.
  • Membership. The Special Quai Membership applies only to the server where it was bought, according to fan summaries of NC's notice. An account without it can't use the Market.
  • Sanction history. Ask whether the account has had a suspension. Repeat offences carry longer ones.
  • Seller history. Completed orders and rating over time.

After you buy

  1. Change the password first.
  2. Change the email to your own, then the recovery options.
  3. Turn on two-step login where the platform offers it.
  4. Log in, check characters, gear and currencies against the listing.
  5. Confirm the order only after all of that works.

The risks

  • Recovery by the seller. The first owner can often prove ownership to support. Buyer protection on the marketplace covers a set period.
  • Sanctions. Account trading is in NC's sanction table. NC's policy also excludes restoring losses from trading or sharing accounts.
  • Old violations. If the account was botted or held bought Kinah, a later sanction lands on you.

Starting fresh instead

AION 2 is free to play on Windows through Steam and PURPLE. A new character has no history and no recovery risk. Progress from the Korean and Taiwanese versions does not carry over, so every global player started on October 5, 2026 or later.

FAQ

Is buying an AION 2 account allowed?

No. NC's Operation Policies list account trading as a sanctioned act: 7 days, 30 days, 90 days, then permanent on the fourth offence.

Can the seller take the account back?

It happens. Whoever holds the original email or can prove first ownership has a path to recovery. Get the original email and change every credential.

What classes can I buy?

The global version launched with eight classes: Gladiator, Templar, Assassin, Ranger, Sorcerer, Spiritmaster, Cleric and Chanter.

Can I move a bought character to my friends' server?

Only inside the same region and faction, when NC opens a transfer window. Transfers need level 45 and can't be reverted.

Is AION 2 free to play?

Yes. The global version is free on Windows through Steam and PURPLE, with an optional 30-day membership.
